The European price of the Hasselblad X1D medium format mirrorless camera dropped significantly to €4,999 from €9,559.
The price in the US already dropped by $2,500 a while back ($3,500 for the black version). The current US price of $6,495 is the same as the Fuji GFX 50S and Nikon D5.

Lucky owners of a mirrorless Hasselblad X1D camera have finally welcomed a new lens - a wide-angle XCD 21 mm f/4 model. Hasselblad XCD 21 mm f/4 has been created having in mind landscape and architecture photography.
The optical system consists of 13 elements placed in 9 groups. 2 elements are aspherical lenses. The field of view of the lens is 105 degrees and the minimum focus distance is 32cm. The device is equipped with a central shutter, with the speed of 60m - 1/2000s. The lens weighs 600g.

The 'Phocus' software, used for the edition of RAW photographs, should help in obtaining perfect quality within the whole field. It is also supposed to correct the distortion of the lens.
2). Hasselblad XCD 21mm f/4
The lens can be ordered from the producer's website for $3750.

Hasselblad has presented its plans concerning the introduction of new lenses with XCD mounts to the mirrorless medium-format system. In this way the company wants to encourage potential buyers to invest in the system, which looks quite modest so far.
The first lens from the announced pair which is going to appear on the market is XCD 135mm f/2.8 and the dedicated 1.7x teleconverter, which will change the lens into 230mm f/4.8. Similarly to the previous lenses from the system, this one will also offer a central shutter, which will enable flash synchronization in up to 1/2000 s.

The 80mm lens is also going to be very interesting. As the producer assures, it’s going to be the brightest lens it has ever produced.
Apart from that, in 2018 we can also expect the following lenses: 65mm f/2.8, 35-75mm f/3.5-4.5 and 21mm f/4.
2). Hasselblad XCD Lens Roadmap
All of the previously announced lenses are to appear on the market in the first half of 2018, excluding 80mm lens, which is going to appear on sale in the second half of the next year.
Unfortunately, as for now, we don’t know the prices of the lenses.
